Types of Roof We Service
At Mobley Brothers, we are well-versed in the types of roofs used for commercial buildings in Knoxville. We have the knowledge, skills, and materials to repair just about any commercial roof out there. Our extensive experience includes numerous types of commercial roofs, including:
Metal Commercial Roofs
Mobley Brothers installs standing seam and corrugated metal roofing for commercial buildings. While many commercial buildings have flat roofs, businesses with low-slope roofs can benefit significantly from a metal option. Metal roofs are incredibly durable and deflect heat, making them highly energy-efficient. They also have a very long life expectancy, which ranges from 35 to 60 years. The metal roofs we install are of the highest quality, ensuring your business will be energy-efficient and remain protected from the elements for decades.
Flat Commercial Roofing
Flat roofs are a popular choice for commercial buildings and offer many advantages for business owners. For example, they are more affordable than other alternatives. They also provide an excellent location for installing external HVAC units and can sometimes be modified for rooftop gardens or other purposes. However, flat roofs may collect excess heat, struggle to drain rainwater, and will not reach their full life expectancy without consistent maintenance. Different kinds of flat roofs each have their own advantages:
Membrane Roofs
- TPO Roofing: TPO is a popular, single-layer form of roofing membrane known for its fire-resistant qualities and affordability. Typically made in light colors that do not collect heat, unlike black roofing, TPO roofs can help reduce energy expenses. A TPO roof’s life expectancy is generally around 10 to 20 years.
- EPDM Roofing: This roofing membrane is made of rubber. EPDM membranes are known for their flexibility (which reduces the risk of cracking) and durability in the face of UV rays and temperature fluctuations. Much like TPO roofs, they are single-ply and often fire-resistant. With good maintenance and our high-quality installation, this roofing material has a life expectancy of about 20 to 30 years
- PVC Roofing: PVC roofing is more costly than other membrane options, but it has many benefits that justify the investment. One of its more unique qualities is how well it stands up to chemical exposure, whether those chemicals are industrial or simple restaurant grease. PVC membranes are also fire-resistant. They are extremely strong, although they have been known to shatter in cold climates. Like TPO membranes, they absorb little heat, helping minimize energy bills. PVC membranes typically last 15 to 20 years with maintenance.
Ashphalt-Based Roofs
- Built-Up Roofs: Built-up roofs are a classic choice for good reason. These flat roofs are made by alternating layers of felt or fiberglass mats with asphalt. Repairs for these roofs are known to be affordable, and they are considered very durable. With proper care, built-up roofs can last 15 to 20 years.
- Modified Bitumen Roofs: A lighter-weight cousin of a built-up roof, modified bitumen roofs are thinner yet still contain asphalt components. This flat roofing option is affordable and flexible. This flexibility gives it excellent weather and UV resistance. With a good climate, careful installation, consistent maintenance, and minimal foot traffic, a modified bitumen roof can last 15 to 20 years.
Whether your roof is asphalt-based or membrane, Mobley Brothers has the tools and knowledge to keep it in great condition. We will help you get the most out of your current roof through both maintenance and repairs. Need a new roof? You can trust Mobley Brothers to install the most secure roof your business has ever had.
Types of Damage We Repair
Mobley Brothers has seen it all when it comes to roof damage. We know the kinds of harm that can be inflicted on your roof are incredibly varied. Our 18 years of experience practically guarantee that we’ve dealt with every possible form of roof damage. Below are a few of the roofing issues Mobley Brothers can help you with:
Storm Damage Repairs
Storm damage can turn a perfectly maintained, puncture-free roof into a leaking mess in a matter of hours. Storm damage comes in many forms. High-powered winds may tear and lift sections of roofing. Hail may cause dents or punctures. Rain may also collect on weakened parts of the roof. If this water sits for more than a couple of days, you may have underlying problems that allow the water to remain. Storm damage requires professional intervention. To repair any damage a storm may have done, Mobley Brothers will perform an inspection to assess the condition of your commercial roof. We will report our findings to you and perform any repairs needed.
Bubbling or Loose Membranes
Bubbling is not only unsightly, but it can also lead to leaks and other types of damage. It is caused by a wide variety of issues. Heat and UV exposure from the sun can cause roofing materials to soften and eventually blister. Bubbles can also come from trapped debris or moisture, as well as a poor installation job. To repair a blistered roof, we will cut away the damaged section, then patch and seal it.
A loose membrane, on the other hand, may be the result of wind or other weather events that have pulled it loose. The usual solution for this is to reattach the membrane. The process also includes carefully clearing away debris and potentially patching compromised sections.
Punctures and Cracks
Punctures are a significant risk for roof leaks that can damage your business. While punctures can be caused by fallen tree branches, hail, or other weather events, they are also caused by people not taking proper precautions when walking on a flat roof. Cracks can evolve from roofing bubbles that have split. Cracks are also a major leak risk. If your roof has developed a network of cracks that look like reptile skin, it may be experiencing “alligatoring.” Asphalt-based roofs are especially prone to alligatoring. The appearance of this issue indicates that the integrity of your roof may be compromised. Mobley Brothers can help. Just call us at (615) 906-1195!
Leak Detection and Repair
Roof leaks can cause significant damage to your business, creating an environment for mold and mildew to grow while also eroding the overall structural integrity of your roof. Mobley Brothers knows exactly how to find leaks in your commercial roof. We may check previously patched areas (which can be weaker), use a thermal imaging device to detect moisture, or just do a visual inspection. Once we find the puncture, tear, crack, or blister, we will cut away the compromised section of roofing, remove any debris, and thoroughly patch the damaged area.
Flashing and Drainage Repairs
Flashing is placed over joints, corners, seams, vents, and similar places where water could seep into a roof. While typically made of metal, flashing can also be made of PVC, rubber, and similar materials. Flashing on your commercial roof can come loose, often because of storm winds. At Mobley Brothers, we specialize in identifying and repairing loose flashing.
Without proper drainage, your flat commercial roof is at the mercy of every passing rainstorm. Water sitting on a flat roof compresses the roofing material and insulation, while also allowing mold to grow. Large amounts of standing water can cause major structural damage. That is why your flat roof’s specialized drainage systems need to stay in good condition. Mobley Brothers can help you with that. Whether you need a downspout unclogged or an air baffle replaced, we can help.
Every commercial roof repair starts with a detailed inspection to diagnose the situation and determine the most cost-effective solution. Our Knoxville roofer will explain the problem before presenting a quote. We’ll keep you fully informed every step of the way and make sure you’re happy with the final result. No matter the type of roof or the extent of the damage, we’re here to ensure your business has a sturdy, high-quality roof, allowing you to maintain business as usual.
